TV stand placement
Wall mount
You can secure the soundbar to a wall with a compatible wall mount. We recommend the
custom-designed Sonos Ray Wall Mount (sold separately). See Wall mount for more
information.
Place horizontally on a stable and level surface at least 2" (50mm) from the TV.
Don’t place vertically or on its side.
Don’t block the TV’s IR sensor.
If put on a shelf, place at the front and keep 2" (minimum) clearance on both sides for
best sound quality.
Keep 1" (25 mm) space (minimum) above Ray so you can reach the touch controls. For
best sound quality, keep both ends of Ray at least 1" (25 mm) from a wall or other
obstruction.
Make sure the touch controls are facing up.
Connect the cables
Before you start
1Connect the power cord and plug in
the soundbar.
Note: Use only the supplied power
cord (using a third-party power cord
will void your warranty).
2Remove the protective cap, then
connect the optical cable (included) to
the optical port on the back of your
soundbar.
3Remove the protective cap, then
connect the optical cable to your TV's
optical digital OUT port.
(The TV's optical adapter’s port is “D-
shaped”—make sure the connector
aligns correctly into the port. Inserting
the adapter incorrectly may damage
the cable.)
Disconnect existing home theater or surround sound equipment from your TV.
Connect any external devices, like a cable box or DVD player, directly to your TV.
Turn your TV on.
Home theater
Sonos products for your TV provide full-theater sound and play music too. Create a home
theater system by adding a pair of rear surrounds and a Sub.
Home theater settings
Use the Sonos app to adjust sound settings or change the way your home theater speaker
works with your TV.
TV Dialog Sync
If the TV audio is out of sync with the
video, you can adjust the audio delay (lip
sync) in your room’s settings. Learn more
Group Audio Delay
If you notice audio issues when playing to
a group, you can adjust this setting. Learn
more
TV Autoplay
TV Autoplay—if music or other content is
playing when you turn on your TV, the
audio automatically switches to TV audio
(default). If you don’t want this to happen,
turn off TV Autoplay in your room’s
settings.
Ungroup on Autoplay—if your home
theater speaker is grouped with other
products when you turn on the TV, it
automatically drops from the group
(default). If you don’t want this to happen,
turn off Ungroup on Autoplay in your
room’s settings.
Speech enhancement Makes TV dialog easier to hear. Learn
more

intensity of loud sounds. Turn on to
reduce the volume while still experiencing
proper balance and range. Learn more
Use IR Allow an IR remote to control Sonos.
Remote Control Setup
During setup, you’ll program a remote
control. You can program a different
remote control any time. Learn more
Set up surround speakers
It’s easy to turn two Sonos speakers (same model), or a Sonos Amp and your favorite non-
Sonos speakers, into separate right and left channels for your home theater.
1. Place each surround speaker about 10 ft from your favorite listening position, angling
them toward the seating area.
2. Go to > System.
3. Select a room with a soundbar and choose Add Surrounds to get started.
Note: If you group the rooms or create a stereo pair instead, you won't have surround sound.
Learn more
Surround audio settings
During setup, surround sound is optimized for your room. These settings are adjustable:
Surrounds Turn surround sound On or Off.
TV Level Adjust surround volume for TV audio.
Music Level Adjust surround volume for music.
Music Playback
Ambient (subtle) or Full (louder, full
range). Doesn't apply to Dolby Atmos
Music playback.
Trueplay
Every room is different. Trueplay tuning measures how sound reflects off walls, furnishings,
and other surfaces in a room, then fine tunes your Sonos speaker to make sure it sounds
great no matter where you've placed it.
Trueplay works on iOS mobile devices running iOS 8 or later. During tuning, you'll move
around the room holding your mobile device.
1. Select > System, and pick the room you want to tune.
2. Choose Trueplay Tuning to get started.
Auto Trueplay
Portable Sonos products like Sonos Roam and Move can tune themselves automatically. Auto
Trueplay uses your speaker’s microphone to detect the environment and make periodic tuning
adjustments so you get great sound wherever your speaker is and whatever you're listening
to.
Go to > System, and select your portable speaker to turn on auto Trueplay.
Product settings
You can customize Sonos products for your surroundings. Go to > System and select a
product.
Room Name If you move your speaker to a new room,
you can change its name in Settings.
Turn off WiFi
(not available for Sonos Era 100, Era 300, or
portable products)
You can turn off your speaker’s WiFi when
it’s connected to your network with an
Ethernet cable. This reduces power
consumption and can improve
connectivity for wired speakers.
For products like Amp and Port, turning off
WiFi can reduce the internal temperature
when they’re placed in a rack or stacked.
Learn more
Note: WiFi is turned off for Era 100 and
Era 300 when you connect a Sonos
Combo Adapter using the Ethernet cable.
EQ
Sonos products ship with preset
equalization settings. You can change the
sound settings (bass, treble, or loudness)
to suit your personal preferences. Learn
more
Trueplay
Trueplay adapts the sound for your
surroundings and content. Portable
products can tune themselves
automatically. Learn more
Volume Limit You can set a maximum volume for each
room. Learn more
Status Light
Displays the speaker’s connection to WiFi,
indicates when the volume is muted, and
signals errors. Learn more
Note: If the light is distracting, you can
turn it off in Settings.
Touch Controls
You can disable the touch control on your
speaker. You may want to do this to
prevent a child or curious pet from
accidentally adjusting playback or volume.
Learn more
Battery Saver
(portable products only)
To save battery life, you can set your
portable speaker to power off
automatically instead of going to sleep. It
won't appear in the Sonos app until it’s
powered back on.
Line-In
(Sonos products with line-in capability)
When a projector, turntable, stereo, or
other audio device is connected to a
Sonos product, you can adjust these line-
in settings:
Accessories
Find the perfect accessory for your Sonos system—tailored to perfectly fit your Sonos
products.
For a full selection of Sonos-compatible stands, wall mounts, chargers and cables, see
Accessories on our website.
Source name: Choose a name for the
line-in device.
Source level: Adjust the line-in source
level if you find the default volume
setting is too quiet or distorted.
Audio Delay: Add a delay between
the line-in source and Sonos to reduce
the chance of audio issues occurring
when you're playing line-in audio on
grouped speakers.
Autoplay: Choose a room if you want
line-in audio to start playing
automatically when Sonos detects a
signal on the line-in port. (Autoplay is
disabled by default.)
Wall mount
Use the Ray wall mount kit (sold separately, available at sonos.com). It’s designed for
mounting on a flat wall.
Guidelines

Set it up
1If your TV is wall-mounted, align the
top edge of the bracket with the
bottom of your TV, leaving at least 2.5
inches (mm) between them.
2Mark the screw locations and remove
the bracket.
3If you’re using wall anchors, use a
5/16" drill bit to drill pilot holes,
starting with the hole on the left. Then
insert the wall anchors. Don’t use wall
anchors if you’re drilling into wood or
plastic. See Wall mounting
information.
4Position the wall mount bracket over
the screw locations, using a level to
confirm accuracy. Use a Phillips-head
screwdriver or a power drill to screw
the bracket to the wall, making sure
the center notch is pointing up.
5Using a Phillips head screwdriver,
fasten the 2 attachment screws to the
back of the soundbar, making sure
they are fully tightened.
6Remove the protective cap from the
optical cable, then connect the power
and optical cables to the back of the
soundbar.
7Slide the soundbar down so the
attachment screws fit into the slots on
the wall bracket.
Make sure the touch controls are
facing up and Sonos Ray is fully
seated.
